SOMEBODY - Netflix
Netflix's
upcoming Korean original series "Somebody" will tell the tale of a
bizarre melodrama, topped with a thriller mystery, in this era of social media
and dating apps.
This
is a thriller, but if you go deep down, and a bizarre melodrama. It all comes down
to wanting to communicate and connect (with others) and to the story of a
person trying to find someone who will understand him.
The
eight-part suspense series, set for release on Nov. 18, revolves around
software developer 'Sum'(=Kang Hae-lim), who creates a social media dating app
called "Somebody." She gets involved in a murder investigation when a
serial killer uses the app to find his victims. Amid the crimes, Sum comes
across a mysterious but irresistibly attractive architectural designer, 'Yoon-oh'(=Kim
Young-kwang).
